FALMOUTH The man charged in the February homicide of a Mashpee woman was arraigned in Falmouth District Court on Wednesday.
Cleber O. Mariano Jr., 33, of Falmouth, was arraigned on charges of murder, assault and battery on a family/household member, strangulation and assault with intent to murder in connection with the homicide of 30-year-old Danielle Taylor.
Judge Paul G. Pino ordered that Mariano be held without bail. A probable cause hearing is scheduled for May 10, according to a statement from Cape and Islands District Attorney Michael O’Keefe.
Falmouth police responded Feb. 8 to the CapeWind Waterfront Resort at 34 Maravista Ave. for a well-being check after receiving a call from friends of the resident. When police arrived at the motel, they found Taylor lying unconscious on the floor.
FALMOUTH Members of Danielle Taylor s family say they will remember the Mashpee woman for her happy-go-lucky personality and caring nature.
“She was bubbly and happy and loved her life,” her sister Crystal Stewart said. “She was always trying to make her life better.”
Taylor, who celebrated her 30th birthday on Feb. 1, was found Monday in a room at Cape Wind Waterfront Resort in Teaticket after police responded to the motel for a well-being check. Police found Taylor lying on the floor unconscious, and she was taken to Falmouth Hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
A man was also found in the room, lying on the bed, with injuries to his neck and hand.
